LEVENTHAL. Circuit Judge: These are consolidated appeals from convictions. under 2 U.S.C. � 192. for contempt of Congress for refusing to answer any questions at an executive session conducted by a Subcommittee of the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities on December 7. 1964. The Subcommittee sought to question appellants about their activities in connection with a campaign to persuade the State Department to grant a. visa to a Japanese professor for the purpose of fulfilling speaking engagements. in the United States. Appellants stated that they would answer questions at a public hearing. but refused to give any testimony at closed sessions. We find it unnecessary to consider most of the contentions pressed by appellants.* In our view the convictions must be reversed because the decision by the Committee to cite appellants for contempt was not given the additional consideration within the legislative branch that is contemplated by the governing statute. 2 U.S.C. � 194.
